Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Heterogeneous catalysis is among the major solutions for cost-effective and sustainable industrial application and processing. The design and development of highly efficient and stable heterogeneous catalysts represent an emergent frontier for overcoming energy and environmental challenges. Many industrial petrochemical and oil refining processes are faced with new challenges that can be solved using heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, the design of new types and improvements of zeolites, ordered mesoporous and hierarchical systems as well as tuning parameters of active phase deposition are crucial for optimizing of exiting and novel catalysts production.

This Special Issue aims to cover the most recent progress and advances in the field of heterogeneous catalysts based on aluminosilicates, including zeolites and mesoporous materials, MOFs, COFs, and PAFs for petrochemical synthesis and oil refining. This includes, but is not limited to, hydroprocessing (including hydrotreating, isomerization, reforming, etc.), sulfur removal, catalytic cracking, C-1 chemistry, alcohols, fatty acids, and valuable chemicals synthesis.

Abstract

Propylene is an important raw material for the production of many valuable compounds, especially polypropylene, the consumption of which continues to grow every year. The reaction of oxidative dehydrogenation of propane, where carbon dioxide is used as a mild oxidant, is a promising method for producing propylene. At the same time, the problem of utilization of greenhouse gas CO₂ is partially solved. The synthesis and analysis of the physicochemical properties of mesoporous silicate MCM-41 and supported catalysts CrO_x/MCM-41 prepared on its basis were carried out. These catalysts were prepared using incipient wetness impregnation. The support and catalysts were characterized by the methods of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, TG-DTA, XRD, SEM, TPR-H₂, UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering. It is shown that chromium is present in the samples simultaneously in the form of Cr³⁺ and Cr⁶⁺. The catalytic tests were performed in the range of 550–700 °C. The highest selectivity for propylene was observed for the 5%Cr/MCM-41 catalyst and was 76% at a temperature of 650 °C with a propane conversion of 20%. The deposited catalysts Cr/MCM-41 and Cr/SiO₂ (Acros) were compared. The propylene selectivity for the MCM-41-supported catalyst was ~1.5 times higher than that for the SiO₂-supported catalyst.

Hydroformylation of Alkenes over Phosphorous-Free Rhodium Supported on N-Doped Silica

Abstract

A new phosphorous-free rhodium supported on a nitrogen-doped silica was successfully used as a catalyst for the hydroformylation of alkenes. The obtained material and the catalyst were characterized by XRD, XPS, FTIR, SEM, TEM, ICP AES, and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements. The catalytic performance was studied by the example of the hydroformylation of octene-1 at temperatures of 80–140 °C and a pressure of 5.0 MPa. The catalyst provided a 99% conversion of 1-octene with a 98% yield of aldehydes and showed a good conversion of styrene and cyclohexene. The catalyst can be repeatedly used in ten consecutive cycles, with its activity remaining constant. Full article

Supported Ionic Liquid Catalysts for the Oxidation of S- and N-Containing Compounds—The Effect of Bronsted Sites and Heteropolyacid Concentration

Abstract

In this article, a series of effective catalysts based on betaine and sulfuric or phosphomolybdic acids was obtained. These compositions were characterized by various physicochemical methods and tested in the oxidation of sulfur- and nitrogenous-containing compounds by H₂O₂. An increase in the amount of heteropolyacid (HPA) leads to a non-linear change in acidity, and the degree of removal of sulfur-containing compounds correlates with the concentration of Bronsted acid sites on the surface. On the contrary, the degree of pyridine removal is determined primarily by the content of heteropolyacids in the catalyst. Full article

Abstract

The textural, structural, morphological, and acidic properties of TiO₂/Al-ZSM-12 zeolite synthesized viathe hydrothermal method and using methyltriethylammonium chloride as a template were studied in this study. The structure, size, and shape of the crystallites, and the acidity of the synthesized materials were investigated in detail using the following methods: XRD, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption–desorption, XRF, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, DRS UV–Vis, DRIFTS, PL, SEM, TEM, solid-state NMR spectroscopy on ²⁷Al, ¹H, ²⁹Si, ¹H-²⁹Si and ²³Na nuclei, NH₃-TPD, TG, DSC, DTA, FTIR-Py, FTIR-2,6-dTBP, FTIR-CD₃CN, and DRIFTS-acid. The presence of tetrahedral titanium in the TiO₂/Al-ZSM-12 zeolite was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, DRIFT, and ²⁹Si NMR. It was revealed that the crystallites of the TiO₂/Al-ZSM-12 zeolite, elongated along the b axis, had a higher acidity compared to the unsubstituted zeolite Al-ZSM-12. The oxidative catalytic activity of the TiO₂/Al-ZSM-12 zeolite was studied in the photoinduced decomposition of the crystal violet dye and it was found that the reaction proceeds most efficiently in the presence of H₂O₂ as an oxidizing agent and TiO₂/Al-ZSM-12 as a catalyst (PCA = 0.157%∙min⁻¹).
